The Signs Of Climate Change

There are probably many signs of climate change, but here are the mains ones.

- Temperature rising, due to greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the atmosphere.

- Droughts becoming longer, or more extreme.

- Tropical storms becoming more severe.

- Less snow-pack in the mountain ranges.

- Glaciers melting at a faster rate.

- Sea levels rising.

Climate change has always been a concern to some people, but in recent years, we need to pay more attention to it. And carefully. Not only has it taken a small toll on the world already, but what’s to come in the future may not only be surprising but also frightening. It goes a lot further than the pictures of the starving polar bears and melting ice.
